MCQs on Important Cases of Potential Flow
1 - Question
The characteristic of Ideal fluid are
a) Incompressible
b) Inviscid
c) Fluid velocity is uniform
d) Shear stress has a constant, non zero value
View Answer
c
Explanation: As ideal fluid is inviscid, shear stress is zero.
2 - Question
Which of the following is not a case of ideal fluid flow?
a) Forced vortex Flow
b) Uniform Flow
c) Sink Flow
d) Superimposed flow
View Answer
a
Explanation: Forced vortex Flow does not satisfy the characteristic of ideal fluid flow.
3 - Question

a) Velocity is constant
b) Acceleration is constant
c) X- component of velocity is constant
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
a
Explanation: Velocity is constant in uniform flow.
4 - Question
The source flow is flow coming from a point and moving out in a circular manner.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
a
Explanation: The source flow is flow coming from a point and moving out in a radial manner.
5 - Question
The sink flow is flow in which fluid moves radially inwards towards a point where it disappears at a variable rate.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
b
Explanation: The sink flow is flow in which fluid moves radially inwards towards a point where it disappears at a constant rate.
6 - Question
